    摘要： A method for synthesizing speech from text includes receiving one or more waveforms characteristic of a voice of a person selected by a user, generating a personalized voice font based on the one or more waveforms, and delivering the personalized voice font to the user's computer, whereby speech can be synthesized from text, the speech being in the voice of the selected person, the speech being synthesized using the personalized voice font. A system includes a text-to-speech (TTS) application operable to generate a voice font based on speech waveforms transmitted from a client computer remotely accessing the TTS application.

    摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for refining segmental boundaries in speech waveforms. Contextual acoustic feature similarities are used as a basis for clustering adjacent phoneme speech units, where each adjacent pair phoneme speech units include a segmental boundary. A refining model is trained for each cluster and used to refine boundaries of contextual phoneme speech units forming the clusters.

    摘要： A method is provided for optimizing an objective measure used to estimate mean opinion score or naturalness of synthesized speech from a speech synthesizer. The method includes using an objective measure that has components derived directly from textual information used to form synthesized utterances. The objective measure has a high correlation with mean opinion score such that a relationship can be formed between the objective measure and corresponding mean opinion score. The objective measure is altered to provide a different function of textual information derived from the utterances so as to improve the relationship between the scores of the objective measure and subjective ratings of the synthesized utterances.

    摘要： A concatenating speech synthesizer concatenates selected speech units to obtain the desired synthesized speech. When desired speech units of phonetic and/or prosodic context are not available, the synthesizer selects replacement speech units based on measures representative of the difference between the HMM acoustic models of the desired speech unit and available speech units.

    摘要： The language of origin of a word or named entity is predicted using estimates of frequency of occurrence of the word or named entity in different languages. In one embodiment, the normalized frequency of occurrence of the word or named entity in a variety of different languages is estimated and the values are used as features in a feature vector which is scored and used to identify language of origin.
